Flesh ID: Nanopore Sequencing Combined with Offline BLAST Search for the Identification of Meat Source.

ABSTRACT: Detection of animal species in meat product is crucial to prevent adulterated and unnecessary contamination during processing, in addition to avoid allergy and religious consequences. Gold standard is the real-time PCR assays, which has a limited target capability. In this study, we have established a rapid sequencing protocol to identify animal species within hours. Sequencing was achieved by nanopore sequencing and data analysis via offline BLAST search. The whole procedure was conducted in a mobile suitcase lab. As per national and international regulations, the developed assay detected adulteration of pork meat with 0.1% of horse, chicken, turkey, cattle, sheep, duck, rabbit, goat, and donkey. The developed test could be used on-site as a rapid and mobile detection system to determine contamination of meat products.

Nanocall: an open source basecaller for Oxford Nanopore sequencing data.

Project description:MotivationThe highly portable Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencer has enabled new applications of genome sequencing directly in the field. However, the MinION currently relies on a cloud computing platform, Metrichor (metrichor.com), for translating locally generated sequencing data into basecalls.ResultsTo allow offline and private analysis of MinION data, we created Nanocall. Nanocall is the first freely available, open-source basecaller for Oxford Nanopore sequencing data and does not require an internet connection. Using R7.3 chemistry, on two E.coli and two human samples, with natural as well as PCR-amplified DNA, Nanocall reads have ∼68% identity, directly comparable to Metrichor '1D' data. Further, Nanocall is efficient, processing ∼2500 Kbp of sequence per core hour using the fastest settings, and fully parallelized. Using a 4 core desktop computer, Nanocall could basecall a MinION sequencing run in real time. Metrichor provides the ability to integrate the '1D' sequencing of template and complement strands of a single DNA molecule, and create a '2D' read. Nanocall does not currently integrate this technology, and addition of this capability will be an important future development. In summary, Nanocall is the first open-source, freely available, off-line basecaller for Oxford Nanopore sequencing data.Availability and implementationNanocall is available at github.com/mateidavid/nanocall, released under the MIT license.Contactmatei.david@oicr.on.caSupplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Haplotyping pharmacogenes using TLA combined with Illumina or Nanopore sequencing.

Project description:The currently used pharmacogenetic genotyping assays offer limited haplotype information, which can potentially cause specific functional effects to be missed. This study tested if Targeted Locus Amplification (TLA), when using non-patient-specific primers combined with Illumina or Nanopore sequencing, can offer an advantage in terms of accurate phasing. The TLA method selectively amplifies and sequences entire genes based on crosslinking DNA in close physical proximity. This way, DNA fragments that were initially further apart in the genome are ligated into one molecule, making it possible to sequence distant variants within one short read. In this study, four pharmacogenes, CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP1A2 and BRCA1, were sequenced after enrichment using different primer pairs. Only 24% or 38% of the nucleotides mapped on target when using Illumina or Nanopore sequencing, respectively. With an average depth of more than 1000X for the regions of interest, none of the genes were entirely covered with either sequencing method. For three of the four genes, less than half of the variants were phased correctly compared to the reference. The Nanopore dataset with the optimized primer pair for CYP2D6 resulted in the correct haplotype, showing that this method can be used for reliable genotyping and phasing of pharmacogenes but does require patient-specific primer design and optimization to be effective.

Application of Long-Read Nanopore Sequencing to the Search for Mutations in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that both coding and non-coding regions of sarcomeric protein genes can contribute to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Here, we introduce an experimental workflow (tested on four patients) for complete sequencing of the most common HCM genes (MYBPC3, MYH7, TPM1, TNNT2, and TNNI3) via long-range PCR, Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) sequencing, and bioinformatic analysis. We applied Illumina and Sanger sequencing to validate the results, FastQC, Qualimap, and MultiQC for quality evaluations, MiniMap2 to align data, Clair3 to call and phase variants, and Annovar's tools and CADD to assess pathogenicity of variants. We could not amplify the region encompassing exons 6-12 of MYBPC3. A higher sequencing error rate was observed with ONT (6.86-6.92%) than with Illumina technology (1.14-1.35%), mostly for small indels. Pathogenic variant p.Gln1233Ter and benign polymorphism p.Arg326Gln in MYBPC3 in a heterozygous state were found in one patient. We demonstrated the ability of ONT to phase single-nucleotide variants, enabling direct haplotype determination for genes TNNT2 and TPM1. These findings highlight the importance of long-range PCR efficiency, as well as lower accuracy of variant calling by ONT than by Illumina technology; these differences should be clarified prior to clinical application of the ONT method.

Nanopore Sequencing for De Novo Bacterial Genome Assembly and Search for Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism.

Project description:Nanopore sequencing (ONT) is a new and rapidly developing method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA and RNA. It serves the ability to obtain long reads of thousands of nucleotides without assembly and amplification during sequencing compared to next-generation sequencing. Nanopore sequencing can help for determination of genetic changes leading to antibiotics resistance. This study presents the application of ONT technology in the assembly of an E. coli genome characterized by a deletion of the tolC gene and known single-nucleotide variations leading to antibiotic resistance, in the absence of a reference genome. We performed benchmark studies to determine minimum coverage depth to obtain a complete genome, depending on the quality of the ONT data. A comparison of existing programs was carried out. It was shown that the Flye program demonstrates plausible assembly results relative to others (Shasta, Canu, and Necat). The required coverage depth for successful assembly strongly depends on the size of reads. When using high-quality samples with an average read length of 8 Kbp or more, the coverage depth of 30× is sufficient to assemble the complete genome de novo and reliably determine single-nucleotide variations in it. For samples with shorter reads with mean lengths of 2 Kbp, a higher coverage depth of 50× is required. Avoiding of mechanical mixing is obligatory for samples preparation. Nanopore sequencing can be used alone to determine antibiotics-resistant genetic features of bacterial strains.

Modeling Search for People in 900 Scenes: A combined source model of eye guidance.

Project description:How predictable are human eye movements during search in real world scenes? We recorded 14 observers' eye movements as they performed a search task (person detection) in 912 outdoor scenes. Observers were highly consistent in the regions fixated during search, even when the target was absent from the scene. These eye movements were used to evaluate computational models of search guidance from three sources: saliency, target features, and scene context. Each of these models independently outperformed a cross-image control in predicting human fixations. Models that combined sources of guidance ultimately predicted 94% of human agreement, with the scene context component providing the most explanatory power. None of the models, however, could reach the precision and fidelity of an attentional map defined by human fixations. This work puts forth a benchmark for computational models of search in real world scenes. Further improvements in modeling should capture mechanisms underlying the selectivity of observer's fixations during search.

Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.

Project description:The BLAST programs are widely used tools for searching protein and DNA databases for sequence similarities. For protein comparisons, a variety of definitional, algorithmic and statistical refinements described here permits the execution time of the BLAST programs to be decreased substantially while enhancing their sensitivity to weak similarities. A new criterion for triggering the extension of word hits, combined with a new heuristic for generating gapped alignments, yields a gapped BLAST program that runs at approximately three times the speed of the original. In addition, a method is introduced for automatically combining statistically significant alignments produced by BLAST into a position-specific score matrix, and searching the database using this matrix. The resulting Position-Specific Iterated BLAST (PSI-BLAST) program runs at approximately the same speed per iteration as gapped BLAST, but in many cases is much more sensitive to weak but biologically relevant sequence similarities. PSI-BLAST is used to uncover several new and interesting members of the BRCT superfamily.

Combined nanopore and single-molecule real-time sequencing survey of human betaherpesvirus 5 transcriptome.

Project description:Long-read sequencing (LRS), a powerful novel approach, is able to read full-length transcripts and confers a major advantage over the earlier gold standard short-read sequencing in the efficiency of identifying for example polycistronic transcripts and transcript isoforms, including transcript length- and splice variants. In this work, we profile the human cytomegalovirus transcriptome using two third-generation LRS platforms: the Sequel from Pacific BioSciences, and MinION from Oxford Nanopore Technologies. We carried out both cDNA and direct RNA sequencing, and applied the LoRTIA software, developed in our laboratory, for the transcript annotations. This study identified a large number of novel transcript variants, including splice isoforms and transcript start and end site isoforms, as well as putative mRNAs with truncated in-frame ORFs (located within the larger ORFs of the canonical mRNAs), which potentially encode N-terminally truncated polypeptides. Our work also disclosed a highly complex meshwork of transcriptional read-throughs and overlaps.

SituSeq: an offline protocol for rapid and remote Nanopore 16S rRNA amplicon sequence analysis.

Project description:Microbiome analysis through 16S rRNA gene sequencing is a crucial tool for understanding the microbial ecology of any habitat or ecosystem. However, workflows require large equipment, stable internet, and extensive computing power such that most of the work is performed far away from sample collection in both space and time. Performing amplicon sequencing and analysis at sample collection would have positive implications in many instances including remote fieldwork and point-of-care medical diagnoses. Here we present SituSeq, an offline and portable workflow for the sequencing and analysis of 16S rRNA gene amplicons using Nanopore sequencing and a standard laptop computer. SituSeq was validated by comparing Nanopore 16S rRNA gene amplicons, Illumina 16S rRNA gene amplicons, and Illumina metagenomes, sequenced using the same environmental DNA. Comparisons revealed consistent community composition, ecological trends, and sequence identity across platforms. Correlation between the abundance of taxa in each taxonomic level in Illumina and Nanopore data sets was high (Pearson's r > 0.9), and over 70% of Illumina 16S rRNA gene sequences matched a Nanopore sequence with greater than 97% sequence identity. On board a research vessel on the open ocean, SituSeq was used to analyze amplicon sequences from deep sea sediments less than 2 h after sequencing, and 8 h after sample collection. The rapidly available results informed decisions about subsequent sampling in near real-time while the offshore expedition was still underway. SituSeq is a portable and user-friendly workflow that helps to bring the power of microbial genomics and diagnostics to many more researchers and situations.

A 3D-Printed Offline Nano-ESI Source for Bruker MS Instruments.

Project description:Nanoelectrospray ionization (nano-ESI) is a highly efficient and a widely used technique for the ionization of minute amounts of analyte. Offline nano-ESI sources are convenient for the direct infusion of complex mixtures that suffer from high matrix content and are crucial for the native mass spectrometric analysis of proteins. For Bruker instruments, no such source is readily available. Here we close this gap and present a 3D-printable nano-ESI source for Bruker instruments, which can be assembled by anyone with access to 3D printers. The source can be fitted to any Bruker mass spectrometer with an ionBooster ESI source and only requires minor, reversible changes to the original Bruker hardware. The general utility was demonstrated by recording high-resolution MS spectra of small molecules, intact proteins, as well as complex biological samples in negative and positive ion mode on two different Bruker instruments.
